GIUSEPPE
GARIBALDI
… MAN OF FREEDOM, MAN OF MANKIND …

Who
was really Giuseppe Garibaldi? A man or a hero, pragmatic or idealist,
champion of justice or expression of the upper class? It’s very
difficult to valuate a so celebrated man, elevated to mythical status,
although some historians, writers and filmmakers – like Leonardo
Sciascia, Carlo Alianello, Florestano Vancini and Pasquale Squitieri –
tried to lead him again to human and historic dimension.
Today, two hundred years after Garibaldi’s birth, sixty artists
from every part of the world questioned themselves about the real and
official imagine of “two worlds’ hero”. The group exhibition,
that will be opened from 10th to 20th January 2008 in Bergamo History
Museum and later in Uruguay capital city, propose to the public many languages
that converge in the common aim to deeply understand the figure of Giuseppe
Garibaldi and his wonderful adventure.
One of the possible ways to read the exhibition is to perceive the art
works as spread fragments of a multimedial installation, that aims, by
unifying different points of view, to rebuild the complexe personality
of Garibaldi. One of the most significant features of this project is
the common feeling of artists so far and so different. This is the proof
that the contemporary geography of the art doesn’t know the North
and the South, the centers and the outskirts, because the man became conscious
of his being in the world.

The
event "Giuseppe Garibaldi… freedom of man, a man of humanity…",
which began last January at the Museum's historic Bergamo, now comes to
Montevideo in a program of friendship between Italy and Uruguay throwing
well, still, a bridge of brotherhood and solidarity among the peoples
of the "two worlds".
A project that does revisit the ethical values through a Garibaldian civilian
reconstruction fiction today, look back to those who grew up feeding the
moral principles of contemporary democracies.
It also wants to shape, without emphasis, and the true image of Garibaldi
through human language arts expressed by teachers of different nationalities
and cultures that, two centuries after her birth, wanted to tell his life,
his actions , its ideals.

One way to present
and propose art of Free Artists International, founded on the concept
of network: network between national institutions in various countries
that promote culture, but especially - and this is the most significant
- network of solidarity and exchange intense of experience between artists.

There was a vision
of Garibaldi completely free, new, basic, while also an insight into the
world of today., Which highlights the vital and dynamic aspects of contemporary
made of ethnic and cultural sensitivities so far as neighbouring bramose
of being in a common thought, Garibaldi in this case, and to regain their
individuality in the encounter with the other different, yet very fraternal
stranger.
But even a esternazione feelings strong current and projected perverse
the game of life coeval that aggravates who daily life experiences, lives
the drama of emigration, hunger, violence, war.

In the context of
Montevideo, the exhibition is a partial exposure of collected works and
offers visitors the opportunity to share the diversity of artistic languages,
fragments of memory, aliti emotions, sensations strokes through continuous
projection of images, movies, of videoart and my personal performance
"Painting the sound."

In addition completes
the exhibition a section "documents" of about 100 photographs
of the trail's historical G. Garibaldi.

"Giuseppe Garibaldi…
freedom of man, a man of humanity…" is a great example of transnational
relations, which is in itself a symbol of contamination between cultures,
forms of expression and ideas that enrich and complete the human life.
